My Yamaha P-200 has become noisy when releasing the key. I wonder what I can do about it? Can I for instance buy and exchange the ...feltcloth? above the keys myself?
Kind regards /Tomas

Noise from releasing keys - Yamaha P-200
Hey, T
I don't know when you posted this question, but if you are still reading with interest, I have tackled the same problem.
I did like the sound that the keys made, because my microphone would pick up the sound, while singing, being just 1 metre away.
So I opened up the P-200, and found the problem.
The sound is on the return as the keys fall back down upon release.
So, I bought some soft but firm felt from a fabric store. It might have been weather stripping from a hardware store even, can't remember, but either would do.
Then, I cut and tied them with thread on the steel bars that the keys fall on, drastically reducing the sound.
Now I can sing and play at the same time, and have no transient piano 'noise' sounds in the vocal track.
